[The Big Bang Theory] Cohabitation strategy

At that moment, my mood was very complicated.

"Excuseme! I thought, since you bumped into me, why didn't you say 'sorry' first?" The live-action Sheldon Cooper standing in front of me spoke, his eyebrows raised high, and his tone made people feel very Low tone.

...I don't think it's complicated at all, it's just that this guy is the real Sheldon Cooper.

Maybe it's because the aura of the protagonist dilutes my attitude, I actually said blankly: "...I am sorry..."

He nodded in satisfaction.Then, looking at me who was still staring blankly at him, I raised my eyebrows in dissatisfaction: "Please! I think I need to go downstairs now."

Only then did I realize that I was holding the walls on both sides with both hands, completely occupying the corridor.

My heart was beating fast because of excitement, but I didn't care about the unfriendliness in his words.I stepped out of the way to give this Sheldon Cooper enough room to go downstairs.

He went downstairs, but I was still standing without understanding the situation.Two seconds later, Sheldon Cooper snapped back again.

I stood there like a log and saw him standing in front of me and stopped. Cooper folded his arms, lowered his head and looked at me carefully, but I didn't understand what he was going to do at all, I looked up at him suspiciously and asked, "What's the matter?"

After listening to my words, he suddenly seemed to get angry all of a sudden, like I did something rude to him.

"I'm sorry!" Cooper yelled, staring at me with monster eyes until my spine shivered, "I think you should understand that when I look at you, you should tell me that you are in The intention in this apartment! This is the most basic social etiquette."

...he spoke too quickly, but certainly not anything good!

I took out the CET-[-] and CET-[-] and listened intently, but he read too fast, his voice was not loud, and many of the words he used were uncommon words.

"Please slow down, okay?" I looked up at him with effort, hoping that Cooper could understand the difficulties of being a foreigner.I remember that he was still very kind in the TV series, and he should be able to understand my poor hearing.

But obviously, his tolerance does not exist in his contempt for people with bad brains. Cooper, who understood my request to him, looked at me angrily and dissatisfied as if he had been insulted: "Don't you even basically Are you not proficient in English?" He stared at me resentfully, sighed and shook his head, and then said in an exaggerated manner with gestures that were deliberately slowed down and even disgusting: "You, What are you doing here?"

"...What do you mean?" I could clearly hear the mean contempt in his tone, and his contemptuous gaze and deliberate gestures were disgusting.A kind of anger brewed in my heart.

This time Cooper really looked me up and down with an explicit look of disdain: "Your remarks made me refresh my estimate of your IQ once again, miss. I want to ask you what you do here, so as to reflect my Great social skills, and it makes me very upset that you use your subhuman brain to dismiss my good intentions."

He spoke slowly, which seemed to make him uncomfortable - and made me catch every word he said.A feeling of being spurned from top to bottom arises spontaneously, as if to treat a person's crimes, he must be dragged to a bright place to be criticized.Of course I was very angry, trembling all over with anger, my brain buzzed, and I stood stiffly on the stairs.

This is Sheldon Cooper?Looks really... cocky, defiant, inexplicable, feel-good! !

Patience, I told myself that he might become my new neighbor, and I had to treat him kindly, or else I would beat him up before moving into the new house, it would be bad or bad.

"If he didn't say that, he wouldn't be Sheldon Cooper..." I said to myself countless times, then turned around and went upstairs to leave.If I stay here, I may not be able to control my hidden violent temper. Even if I become a neighbor with him in the future, I will definitely not have in-depth interactions with him. Judging by his words and deeds today, he can’t tell if he is a good character. How do you despise me, hum!

Cooper, who was left behind me, yelled, "Hey! You haven't answered my question yet!"

I took a deep breath, stopped, and asked seriously, "Why should I answer?"

I continued to go upstairs, my fingertips slightly swollen from excitement.

Around the corner, I heard him say, offended, behind me, "Oh, what a disrespect!"

I returned him with a sneer.

-----

The landlord is a kind and somewhat bloated old man, who looks to be in his 50s, wearing a plaid shirt, with a beer belly and a thick gray beard.After leaving with Cooper unhappy, I was not in the mood to stay upstairs. After Cooper, who was at the corner of the second floor, went downstairs, I followed. I saw the landlord, who looked a little annoyed.

"Hello," I walked over to greet the landlady, "you are Mr. Zabney?"

Mr. Zabuni also found me: "Yes, Miss Xu?" After seeing me nodding, Mr. Zabuni made a gesture of invitation to me and entered the apartment with me, "You are very punctual, Miss Xu .This apartment has only been around for more than ten years, and the interior is not dilapidated at all. Excluding 5A, there are 9 residents in 21 households.”

I nodded, and then listened to Mr. Zabuni's introduction.Seeing the broken elevator again, I suddenly wanted to confirm the cause of its damage: "Mr. Zabuni, is this elevator broken? Why is it like this?"

Mr. Zabuni: "Oh, don't mention that! It has been broken for several years, probably in [-], and many residents said they didn't know what happened. Suddenly there was a loud noise in the elevator, and something seemed to explode. ——During that time, everyone thought they were terrorists, and moved out several houses. Then the elevator could no longer be used.” I listened, and it really matched the reason in my memory.I only heard Mr. Zabney continue to say-"I suspect that the two guys on the fourth floor did it, especially the one named Cooper, who looks crazy and always says things that people don't understand!"

I recalled the time when Cooper went downstairs, and asked, "The one who went downstairs just now must be Mr. Cooper, right?"

Mr. Zabuni nodded with a pale face, and asked me worriedly: "Did you talk just now? Did he say anything—what did you say that was not nice?"

It was so unpleasant, I gritted my teeth: "...It's really uncomfortable."

Mr. Zabney said worriedly: "Actually...except for Cooper, the other neighbors in the apartment are very kind. As for him...he...you just need to avoid him..."

I blacked out, and at the same time felt Cooper's terrifying power.

Mr. Zabney asked me if I wanted to see the house first, and I nodded immediately.

On the fifth floor, the landlord took the key and opened the door.After we went in, we really felt that this house was really nice.

The whole wall is sky blue, I think it should be painted by a previous household, the whole living room looks quite spacious, the kitchen is not small, it can fit a medium dining table, and the sunlight is also very sufficient, so there will be no need to turn on the lights during the day Condition.

"The house is not dilapidated at all, and it's full of sunlight. It's very comfortable to live in." After I looked around the living room, Mr. Zabuni said, "In addition to the original household appliances, the refrigerator and air conditioner Refrigeration works, no need to replace it. I can vouch for it, it's a great house, and it's not expensive."

I nodded approvingly, and saw that the house was only sixty to seventy square meters, but the layout was so good, it was really a good house.

I was very moved. This house is indeed much better than the one I rented now, and it is also very clean. There is nothing wrong with it except for a layer of dust.I also mainly looked at the bedroom. It is enough to put a bed, a table and a bookshelf, and there is still room for a small sofa.The most important thing is that it is not expensive for a month's rent!With my current financial income, I don't need to ask others to share the rent, which is enough!

Regret, why didn't I find such a good house before?I even have a feeling that I can't wait to move in.

The only thing I'm not satisfied with is the downstairs residents.

It’s one thing to watch TV, and it’s another thing to bump into it by yourself. From what Cooper watched just now, life will definitely not be easy. His series of trivial questions and out-of-the-box fears are enough for me to drink a cup.

...but it's really exciting.

who cares!After some ideological struggle, I thought to myself, anyway, as long as I don't provoke him, why should he bother me? !An Amy should be able to subdue him, maybe use her careful defense against the mistress to keep Cooper from approaching me-although I know that even if he approached me, he would never look at me, and I rarely care about him.

I put my mind to one side.

"Miss Xu, are you satisfied with this house?" Mr. Zabuni said straight to the point when I returned to the living room.

I thought about it: "I think it's ok, but I'm not sure after all, I still want to see a few more...Because I'm not in a hurry to live in, if there are any problems after I move in, it will be difficult to deal with." My look I'm really not in a hurry. In fact, my heart is already like ants on a hot pot, but after all, I'm afraid of being tricked.When I first came to Los Angeles, I got ripped off on my first rent, and I was always careful after that.

I await Mr. Zabney's answer.

Mr. Zabuni said seriously: "Miss Xu, you believe me, this house is really very good, I am sincerely introducing the house to you, please rest assured."

I could hear the real sincerity of the landlady.I looked at Mr. Zabni, who looked back calmly at me.Finally I smiled with relief: "Thank you very much, sir."

I suddenly relaxed, and my body, which had been stiff all the time, also relaxed.My previous temptations have become so ridiculous, but I am extremely happy and moved.

Mr. Zabuni smiled at me kindly: "I have lived for more than half a century, so I know what a person should and shouldn't do. We can sign the rental agreement tomorrow. "

I smiled and paid a deposit of two hundred dollars, and said goodbye to Mr. Zabuni.

A big stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.

Coming to this foreign country is always not at ease. People who are racially discriminatory will look down on me and say to deal with these things calmly, but it is really hard not to be sad if it is really going through.I really appreciate Mr. Zabney and Mr. Blake.

Birds of a feather flock together.Even if this word has a vaguely derogatory meaning, I have to say that Mr. Zabuni and Mr. Blake are really people I admire.
